Prognostic and Predictive Valueof the 21-Gene Recurrence Score Assay in Postmenopausal Women with Node-Positive, Estrogen- Receptor-Positive Breast Canceron Chemotherapy: A Retrospective Analysis of a Randomised Trial Albain KS et al. Lancet Oncol 2010;11(1):55-65. Albain KS et al. San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2009;Abstract 112.
Introduction • A low 21-gene recurrence score (RS) in postmenopausal patients with ER-positive, node-negative breast cancer predicts a lack of benefit from the addition of chemotherapy to tamoxifen (T) treatment (JCO 2006;24:3726). • The value of the 21-gene recurrence score assay in patients with ER-positive, node-positive breast cancer that are treated with T alone is unknown. • Current study objectives: • Assess prognostic value of the 21-gene recurrence score in patients with node-positive breast cancer treated only with T. • Assess whether 21-gene recurrence assay allows for the prediction of a node-positive subset of patients who do not benefit from anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

SWOG-8814: Translational Study 1,477 patients randomly assigned to trial 664 tumor samples available from central banking 601 samples analyzed by RT PCR: 148 T alone; 219 CAF T; 234 CAFT 367 final samples for this analysis (Tamoxifen and CAF-T groups only;CAFT group excluded due to inferior efficacy) Primary analysis: Cox regression model using continuous RSSecondary analysis: RS categories, low (<18), intermediate (18-30) and high (≥31) Albain KS et al. Lancet Oncol 2010;11(1):55-65.
Ten-Year Disease-Free Survival(DFS) and Overall Survival (OS)in Tamoxifen Alone Group *Log-rank p-value stratified according to the number of positive nodes (1-3 vs ≥4 positive nodes). Albain KS et al. Lancet Oncol 2010;11(1):55-65.
Hazard Ratio: Ten-Year DFS,T versus CAF-T Groups *Log-rank p-value stratified according to the number of positive nodes (1-3 vs ≥4 positive nodes); HR = hazard ratio. Albain KS et al. Lancet Oncol 2010;11(1):55-65.
Conclusions • The RS is prognostic for patients with node-positive breast cancer treated with tamoxifen alone. • A high RS score predicts an improved DFS in patients with node-positive breast cancer treated with anthracyline-based chemotherapy followed by tamoxifen compared to tamoxifen alone. • A low RS score identifies women with node-positive breast cancer who may not benefit from the addition of anthracycline-based chemotherapy to tamoxifen treatment.

Conclusions (Continued) “Prospective studies with larger sample sizes are essential to establish who benefits most from modern endocrine therapy plus chemotherapy, and whetheruse of multigene assays affects survival.” - KS Albain Albain KS et al. Lancet Oncol 2010;11(1):55-65.
